2. GG Gatsby Flirt in a Bottle Hair Fragrance ($10): Lean in and win hearts with tresses that smell of lush green apples, intoxicating jasmine and a musky hint of amber. Spritz on dry hair and get ready to turn some heads!

3. essie nail color in “Bachelorette Bash” ($8): My beauty stash boasts a myriad of pink polishes, but none can top this smokin’ hot fuchsia. I find myself drawn to it winter, spring, summer and fall.

4. Splat Washables Hair Color in “Pink” ($6): Pink hair is a bold beauty move, no doubt, but if you’re tempted to go for it, this apply-in-the-shower color is the way to go. It washes out with a quick shampoo, so even the most commitment-phobic gals can feel secure giving it a whirl.

2. Sonia Kashuk Red Promesia Crème Body Wash ($9): This pearlescent wash conditions and softens skin gently, but it’s the fragrance that has me hooked. Unusual floral extracts (Edelweiss and Plumeria flowers) are balanced out with heavier notes of vanilla and sandalwood, and the result is an unexpectedly, intoxicating combination.

4. L’oreal Infallible Never Fail Lipcolour Stars Collection in “Beyonce” ($10): One of my desert-island reds, this lipstick is ultra-flattering on tons of different skin tones, and seriously does. not. budge. Applied in the morning—first the color, then a moisturizing top coat (which includes marine collagen and vitamin E)—and don’t even bother toting it along to work with me, as it never requires touching up.

5. Femme Couture Lip & Cheek Stain in Rosie Red ($12): Giving my favorite blush and lip stain a run for its money is this two-in-one wonder. On one end you have a sheer cheek stain, and on the other, a long-lasting red lip tint. It’s an all-around steal!
